Renato Llenes, the Suspect in Christine Silawan Slay, Pleads Not Guilty to Murder Case
Renato Llenes, the self-confessed suspect in Christine Silawan slay case, has pleaded not guilty to the murder case filed against him.
Llenes is one of the suspects arrested by the Lapu-Lapu City police in connection with the slaying of the teenage girl.
The 43-year-old suspect confessed that he stabbed the 16-year-old Christine Silawan multiple times and skinned her face.
Recently, Manuel Degollacion, the suspect’s lawyer, said that he wants the police to lower the murder case to homicide.
“That’s the only time that he will plead guilty, the strategy is to make sure that the sentence to be imposed is lower degree. That’s the duty of the lawyer,” Degollacion said.
However, no clear basis was cited for the bid to downgrade the charge.
The culprit did not retract his statement as responsible over the death of Silawan, whom he met through Facebook.
